Joe Gomez is determined to earn his place back in the Liverpool first team after recovering from ligament and achilles inury that has kept him out of action since October 2015.

The 19-year-old defender came through an under-23's game unscathed and is now determined to get back into Jurgen Klopp's squad.

"It’s important that I keep building," he told the official site. "You can always keep learning and it’s good for me to keep getting minutes, as well as learning in training from everyone in the first team.

“I feel very good. I feel like I’m learning and finding myself each game. It’s a great experience for me and good to come into such a strong team and be able to play a part.

“It’s important that I come into every game and keep getting into good habits and doing my best to help be a leader within the team.

“We’ve got a great bunch of lads, some great talent and we have to just keep learning and building and we’ll keep progressing.”
